Kilen Printing Group’s Siam Print operation has ordered a second Goss M-600 to join the one it installed in 2009.

The Bangkok installation will include a Vits Rotocut S sheeter to enable it to take on former sheetfed work, and complement seven sheetfed presses. It will be installed early next year.

Latest-generation automation features will include enhanced Autoplate automatic plate-changing. It will have a Goss folder with delta fold, Ecocool dryer and SH40 splicer.

Siam Print managing director Sorraphan Sitthisuk  says existing presses are running at full capacity in the competitive commercial print market. “We have to meet ever-growing demands for higher quality and the time is right for a new installation,” he says. “Moving some existing jobs onto the new press will open new opportunities for us.”

The 16-page web press is designed for high-quality print and vibrancy of colour matching the best of sheetfed. Its configuration will allow Siam Print to expand its existing customer base.

Siam Print was founded in April 2008 and employs 400 people at its facility in Bangkok, Thailand.
